RARE TREAT.


On Wednesday evening the first of
the Star Course of lectures was given
in Odd Flows Hall by Rev. Waldo
Messarros, the noted Philadelphia di-
vine. Ills subject being Acorn to
Oak'' it was not only entertaining but
contained much valuable historical in
formation concerning the aborigiDes,
and the discoveries of this continent
and the growth of this nation. He
showed that Gods divine providence
was in every successful progressive act
of history, and being told in his most
eloquent terse and clearly spoken man.
ner it furnished one of the grandest
treats that this community has ever
had an opportunity to listen to. 1t
was worthy a crowded house instead
of a half one, The following few his
torical facts CLEANED from the lecture
are very interesting to all who have
never heard them.
He claimed this was the oldest con-
tinent and the first Inhabited because
the oldest types of annual life are found
in the more antediluvial strata i'll the
| reefs of Florida and the Mississippi
valley. Human forms have also been
found in more ancient strata OF the
earth on this than Oh the eastern CON
| tiuent, Historical researches also
prove the miscalled American Indians
to be of Asiatic origin and they must
have come hundreds of years before
the time of Christ. during the persecu-
lions in China.
The first discovery of this continent
was made 200 years before Christ by
Buddhist missionaries sent from Per-
STA, as the Indians religion is similar
to that of The Buddhists.
The poems and history ofthe ancient
and half civilized tribes of Mexico
show that they had Il knowledge OF
theiI Asiatic ancestors and Il at they
lived under IL democratic gov ernment
as no other has existed any length OF
time on this continent which God had
designed for liberty's throne. The
Morse discovered this continent, in the
10th century previous to Columbus's
coming. Several nations proved "a fail

WORK OF THE METHODISTS.
Encouraging Reports Presented at Yesterday s
Meeting of the Ministers.

The attendance at the regular meeting of the
Methodist ministers yesterday morning was un-
usually large Reports of the progress Of church
work occupied the session, and were more en-
couragng than at any time before in the last six
years. Pastors and church members seem to be
working with unusual spirit and energy, aud in
consequence there have been many accessions to
the Methodist congregations of the city. Much
Of the gratifying condition of the churches is at
tributed to the revival meetings that have been
in progress during the winter.
The meeting was addressed by DR.. Martin,
president of DePauw University, who spoke
briefly regarding the affairs Of that institution.
There is some doubt, he said. about the four In
diana conferences each raising the $15. 600 they
have pledged shall be subscribed by the LIST of
next October, and. therefore, he urged the min
listers to make special efforts to raise the requi-
site amount. Mr.. DePauw had been reticent as
to what he would do in of failure. and it
was believed that no one but himself knew his
Intentions 1t was feared by many, however,
that he would consent to no extension of the
time for raising the money.
Rev. W. B. Collins, of Mooresyille in giving
a report of the church work there, was asked
his opinion Of Rev. Seruggs. who is conducting
| revival meetings in that place on methods some
| what similar to those of Mrs Woodwork. He
| said that while he had no doubt of the zeal OF
piety of Scruggs the evangelist knew little about
| the Bible and many other essential things, and
| that, in consequence, his meetings were more
| harmful than helpful to Christianity.
